I really like your ideas, man

This is true. All she had to work with were the remains after all the other teams picked up their rosters, and she still brought them to the same record as NRG and LOUD to end the season

I understand you don't like Jinggg, and you have my condolences, but why are you going through the thread and downvoting all my comments just because I don't hate him like you do

posted 8 months ago

You would, yea

There's the more casual baggy sweatpants

They had bulb as AC for the last 3 months of the 2024 season, and I quite liked what he was doing with alecks (even if it didn't show in the results). I hope they can find a more long-term solution, though, because I don't know how long alecks can navigate the squad on his own

As for the roster, I don't think they should change it unless they have no other choice. They have a massive fanbase around these five players, and despite how they perform in the eyes of those on VLR, the casual VCT community will still root for them and watch all their games because of how entertaining they have been and can be. So from both a PR and monetary standpoint, I don't think it's the right call to make changes. Especially when there are no flaws in the current lineup other than a little bit of role clash, which can easily be solved over an offseason with a player changing roles (e.g. tuyz is playing sentinel in comp, SUYGETSU is learning controller, something is frying on Fade and Sova in ranked right now).

Igling is the one thing I'm uncertain about. PRX isn't a team that does much igling historically, because that's just not how the team has ever functioned. Jinggg and something shared most of the midrounding, though, so I'm tempted to say one of them should igl. Leaning more toward Jinggg because a) something is learning an entirely new role and he should probably focus on that and b) I feel the community won't be full ready to accept Jinggg again unless he starts adding another level of value to the team, which igling can definitely do

Why would a coach of potter's caliber ever settle for being an assistant, regardless of the team?

30 replies to this thread and 4 of them are hate (3 of them are Jinggg hate), damn

Y'all gotta chill. It's not like Jinggg's agent pool is the make or break for PRX. The way they were playing in the latter half of the year, even if their comps were immaculate they still wouldn't've done anything because of their apparent lack of team synergy in stage 2

Sure thing, just lmk whenever 👍
Note that I do be busy busy so I can probably only play Friday + weekends

They did have bulb as their assistant coach in the last third of 2024 but now that he's gone they should really look to get a long term AC. Maybe just listen to the people and sign Benkai

Costco's always your best bet for low-cost high-quality sweatpants, though depending on your standards you can get pretty good sweatpants for like $10 at most of those cheap places

I was thinking that at first but then I realized how hard f0rsakeN frags when you put this guy on duelist. I get that because he can play everything you kinda want him to play everything, but he's so good on duelist that it leads me to believe he'd be easily the best player on PRX if he's the team's entry fragger

posted 8 months ago

In that case, I'd have Jinggg play any other duelist on KJ maps. Cypher or Vyse would be great, but his Sage is good, and he can probably pick up Deadlock pretty easily. Hell, even Chamber could work, why not?

Ty for catching that

Sounds good, honestly. I can also see them running Fade Breach

posted 8 months ago

I remember him reading smth a few days back about him looking to switch roles, and he's playing a ton of Sova and Fade in ranked

No idea what the Split meta's gonna be, but on Sunset they can run Jinggg Neon and f0rsakeN Cypher pretty easily and on Abyss they'd probably run something bizarre as hell

CS has HLTV, but most sites tend to use either their Reddit or their Fandom

I'd have their roles next year look something like this:

Jinggg - Raze/Neon/Phoenix + sentinel
f0rsakeN - Jett/Yoru + sentinel (on no sentinel maps like Bind he can fill the gaps in the comp)
something - recon (plus Gekko on maps where he's played)
d4v41 - flex (mainly flash initiator + Viper, but he can play sentinel on maps where they play double duelist)
mindfreak - controller

For example (assuming the meta doesn't change):

  • On Ascent, I'd have f0rsakeN on Jett and Jinggg on Killjoy, with the other three completing the meta comp
  • On Haven, I'd have Jinggg on Neon and f0rsakeN on Cypher, with the other three
  • On Bind, I'd have Jinggg on Raze, d4v41 on Viper, and something/f0rsakeN on Fade/Gekko (depending on whichever one each is more comfortable with)
  • On Pearl, I'd probably have Jinggg and f0rsakeN on double duelist (like in their Phoenix comp in 2023) with d4v41 on Killjoy

Yeah no we should be good, no deduction necessary

posted 8 months ago

I'm thinking of doing a 10 point deduction, tbh. Gonna run another Indonesia vs. Mongolia game where IDN are running an actual duelist instead of triple controller just to make sure the T2 boost in stats is real

posted 8 months ago

UPDATE

I ran a sample match between Indonesia (5 T1 players) and Mongolia (5 T2 players) to see if grabbing the stats from tier 2 and evaluating them the same as tier 1 was a mistake... here's the imgur thread https://imgur.com/a/b861DkV

I can probably run a few more test matches before I have everyone filled out (I've got the first 20 or so teams on the list right now, lost count tbh) so lmk if you have any specific matchups you wanna see before I finish all the teams and start running the sim

Edit: nvm I'm now realizing it's because I had role conflicts on the Indonesian team because I set 3 of them to controller. Will make that correction (and double check all the teams) then run it back
